Self Determination SA

The right of a people to decide their own political future and govern themselves without external control

Our Goal

To establish a peaceful and sustainable system of local self-government that upholds the principles of accountability, transparency and cultural preservation.

The active recruitment of independent candidates for constituencies across South Africa.

Our Vision

The Self-Determination Initiative of South Africa (SBSA) is a community initiative that aims to establish self-government through a system similar to the Swiss cantonal model.

This model enables communities to manage their own affairs — with respect for culture, economic responsibility and national unity.

Core Objectives 

The administration of a National Register, to maintain for public inspection competent candidates, selected by their communities in their constituencies.

Establishment of cantons/own areas for local government.
Promotion of community self-determination within the Constitution.
Promotion of cooperation and responsible local government.
Maintenance of cultural and linguistic diversity.
Promotion of social stability and local development

Framework

The SBSA begins in Tshwane, Gauteng, as the foundation for a national Initiative. Phasing includes founding committees, registration with the IEC, and the formation of pilot cantons through community participation.

“Did we do enough to save our identity and our culture?”

Self Determination for South Africa is the ONLY way Forward...

The idea is that lasting peace and stability can be achieved when communities have the freedom to govern themselves, protect their cultural identity, and build their own future according to their values, creating a system where cooperation replaces conflict and each group has the space to thrive independently.

Hendrik Verwoerd argued that the only way to achieve lasting peace in South Africa was through the separation of different population groups, believing that each group should develop and govern itself independently within its own territory rather than being integrated within a single political system.Hendrik Verwoerd argued that the only way to achieve lasting peace in South Africa was through the separation of different population groups, believing that each group should develop and govern itself independently within its own territory rather than being integrated within a single political system.
